Yuri MolchanA few days ago, BTC fell below the $15,800 level briefly. The powerful bearish driver that pushed BTC from the $20,000 zone was the recent catastrophe of the FTX exchange that declared itself bankrupt, as well as its affiliate trading firm, Alameda Research, which it was trying to bail out.
The co-founder and CEO of FTX, Sam-Bankman Fried, filed for insolvency and resigned. This scandal provoked a large increase in the lack of trust in crypto exchanges. Users began to massively withdraw their crypto into cold wallets.
